Chris Tarrant's 'It's Not What You Know'

Since visiting the BBC studio have been on their audience participant e-mailing list and that of an independent company. It's now all e-tickets these days.

Most shows are not to my taste or at inconvenient times. As today is Good Friday and a holiday decided at last minute to go to the recording of Chris Tarrant's 'It's Not What You Know' at the easy to get to BBC studio at White City. It's a new game show coming up soon on ITV.

Learned something new - Think everybody not in the know was surprised to learn that some ITV and other channel shows are being recorded at the BBC studios.

Luck was in - given seats in the front row. Always interesting to see some of the faces we see regularly on the box in the flesh. Close up they are completely different. Didn't realise Chris was as old as he is. What a character, made everybody laugh. The crude bits they will obviously edit out of the recording and we won't hear them on the TV. In the breaks the fill in man had some banter with the audience. Was funny really. One lady sitting behind us was picked on for some time. She wasn't happy about it but the rest of the audience enjoyed it. Think some were happy they weren't at the brunt of his jokes. Chris came up to join him then suddenly turned to me and made some fruity comment about my cleavage. I was too shocked to react, just sat there like a lemon going very pink. Least everybody else got the joke. Suppose that's show business for you.

About the show. Bit like 'Who wants to be a Millionaire'. Not really my cup of tea though have to admit the experience was a bit of fun. Best leave further comment until it is aired.
